The Waifs make magic
THE Waifs played on a perfect summer’s day at Mossvale Park at Berrys Creek on Sunday, February 4.
Predictions of catastrophic weather forced the Lyrebird Arts Council to postpone this event originally scheduled to take place on December 2, but the forecast weather never eventuated.
A near capacity crowd of 2500 people danced and swayed and made a joyful celebration of a superb summer’s evening in one of the most picturesque setting in Australia.
Months ago, The Waifs organised their national tour to end in their hometown Perth on Saturday, February 3. The Lyrebird Arts Council was humbled by The Waifs and special guest Yirrmal agreeing to fly back for this one performance.
Feedback from the audience has been both overwhelming and ultimately touching, with such comments as, “Thank you for this gift of an experience” and “What a great easy, relaxed event”.
The audience ranged in ages from children through to a lady in her nineties, who was offered a seat while dancing and responded, “God no, just give me a guitar”.
